The Butterfly Lane

Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train. We SDK off every wall. We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us. Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • When I "reach for the wall," it seems to introduce an undesirable pause into my stroke. I like the little rest, but I don't think my times do. I've recently switched from the "reaching" style (as depicted in the video I posted back in July) to the "circling" style. I didn't have a pause in my stroke but I was reaching as far as I could. Now my stroke feels shorter but my stroke count hasn't changed. I undulate more, and I can breathe every stroke if I want to. Most importantly, the clock does not lie: I'm faster in the practice pool. :banana:
